East Coast Frozen Custard

Yo Foodies!  I went to East Coast Frozen Custard and got their daily special, Salted Caramel.  I have tried the salted caramel ice cream from Mitchell's, but personally the frozen custard tastes better.  It was thick and creamy.  The ratio of salt to caramel was just right!  It melted in my mouth, and tasted like heaven!  The service at the  shop was very good, and the staff were very nice.  The interior of the shop was clean and decorated nicely.  I wasn't a fan of how they only have a few select flavors to choose from, but they did have many toppings that can be added to make all the flavors taste even better.  I'd rate this a 9/10! Probably some of the best frozen custard I've had.

5 Essential Summer Desserts

Yo Foodies!  Since summer is coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to do a post all about the 5 Essential Summer Desserts.  Be sure to tell me in the comments some of your favorite summer foods/desserts. Enjoy!


1. Popsicles


Popsicles are some of the most refreshing summer foods ever!  They are easily store bought and can be homemade.  Some of my favorite popsicles are the Outshine popsicles.  They are extremely juicy and sweet, and they aren't made with chemicals and artificial flavoring.  I also like Creamies which I have only found in Utah. They are the perfect combination of ice cream and popsicle and they melt in your mouth. I like every flavor: orange, banana, and chocolate.  If you ever stumble upon a Creamie, you better try one.


2. Smoothies


Smoothies are amazing! The good thing about smoothies is that they can be made with juice or milk and virtually any fresh fruit or veggie which gives room for tons of options.  Having such a variety of options for smoothies makes them super easy to make for any meal.  My personal favorite is when I use juice as the base of my smoothie because it gives the smoothie more flavor.


3. Ice Cream


People say that dogs are a man/woman's best friend, but personally, I think it's ice cream.  Ice cream can make life so much happier any time that it is around.  Mostly everyone likes ice cream (except lactose intolerant people), and it is very refreshing.  There is such a wide variety of flavors, and that helps people be adventurous with their taste buds.  I personally always love to take a little risk with my food, and ice cream is a perfect opportunity.  


4. Lemonade


Lemonade is perfect for almost everyone. It is refreshing (I'm starting to see a trend), sweet, and sour.  It introduces economics to kids when they want to have a lemonade stand, which always is a good thing.  I enjoy lemonade more when it is made from fresh lemons, but the powder kind that is sold at grocery stores is also pretty delicious and easy to make. 


5. Fruit


Fruit is one of the most popular choices for a snack during the summer.  Fruit is always healthy, it tastes good, and summer is the time when it is in season.  One of the most popular choices is watermelon.  I'd say watermelon is summer's mascot.  It's very sweet and light.  The lightness proves to be a very good snack if you're not going for something too heavy on the belly.  I am a big fan of fruit, and fruit helps us make other yummy things, like smoothies and desserts.


Comment below some of your favorite summer desserts/foods...I'm always excited to try new things!
